Welcome to www.Gallic-Empire.com

This Website is a project by Sebastian Sondermann, and will be continuously developed.
The Gallic Empire, lasting from the revolt of Postumus against Gallienus at Cologne 260 AD to the Campaign of Aurelianus
against the Tetrici 274 AD at Châlons-sur-Marne, is one of the most interesting periods in ancient roman imperial history. Only very few inscriptons and texts remained, so coinage studies are a very important source.
Some of the most talented engravers worked in the mints of the Gallic Empire. Especially the Aurei are of outstanding quality and style.

The catalog section will, once finished, provide an extensive database for the coinage of the Gallic Emperors,
dealing with Gold-, Billon- and Bronze-Emissions as well as Local Imitations (Barbarous Radiates).

I am always interested in Pictures of Rare coins and articles/essays about the Gallic Empire for my studies. Every providing of Photos, Scans and Articles will be much appreciated!

If you need support identifying your coins, or if you would like to sell your collection (or parts of it), just contact me:
